Wonderful article in the Denver Post recently on health care for rural Americans. In spite of clean air and healthy exercise the life span of rural Americans in modern times has been shorter than their urban counter parts. There are many reasons for this, including poverty, pesticide exposure for farmworkers, education levels, etc. But also, as this article points out, health care costs more in rural areas. http://www.denverpost.com/opinion/ci_17684227
